Approximately 420 international researchers attended the 20th
International Symposium on Hepatitis C Virus and Related Viruses in
Melbourne, Australia, from October 6–10, 2013. Since the discovery of
hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 1989, significant advances have been made in
our understanding of the molecular biology and host response to this
significant pathogen, many of which have been presented at this
symposium. Infectious diseases and immunology researchers have published a summary of the
highlights, gaps in knowledge and 'Where to now?' ideas from the meeting in the journal Gastroenterology. Read more DOI:
